With the Slim Reaper back in the West, the mouth-watering matchups fans will be treated to are wild. This includes facing off against LeBron James for the first time since 2018.
Kevin Durant and LeBron James could matchup for the first time since 2018
Back during the height of the Cavs-Warriors Finals rivalry, there was one major debate. Who was better? LeBron James or Kevin Durant.
Over the years, this debate has died down. However, with the Phoenix Suns making a blockbuster trade for KD, the keyboard fighters can go back at it. After all, not only are LeBron and Durant back in the same conference but the same division as well.
Meaning that, for the first time since 2018, The King and the Slim Reaper will go head-to-head.
